Hair Loss: You should check with your doctor to make sure hair loss is not due to any medical condition rather than genetics. Also stress can be a factor. If you take Minoxidil 5% twice a day topically you are likely to maintain the hair you have and at your age you may even grow additional hair. This topical liquid is available over the counter at most drug stores. Best wishes.
